I didn't have to wait five months, but they did take their time in arriving. Worth it though. I wish I'd gone for the presentation pack though. Now saving my tokens for the first innings set.

Fred Astaire ate my hamper.

If they should once obtain a connivance, they will press for a toleration, from thence to an equality, from an equality to a superiority, from a superiority to an extirpation of all contrary religions. John Pym 1584-1643.

Ordinarily I wouldn't touch the Mail with a ten foot barge pole but in the circumstances it's definitely worth buying just for these particular DVDs. Mrs. lancslad picked up the Great War set for me about 5 years ago as Xmas present and we both sat through the 26 episodes one after the other for 26 consecutive days - they are that good. Listening to the experiences of the WW1 veterans (sitting in their shirts & ties in smoky pubs ) was incredibly humbling.
